The inspiration for this twist on Thailand’s Stir-Fried Noodle dish comes from one of my favorite Korean rice dishes, Bibimbap. Chicken Pad Thai, Korean-Style is the third in a series of unique Pad Thai dishes ~ this is Pad Thai fusion!

One of Thailand’s most popular dishes is commonly made with stir-fried rice noodles, eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chili pepper, bean sprouts, garlic, shrimp, chicken, or tofu, peanuts, coriander and lime ~ the Taste With The Eyes Pad Thai Series incorporates all or most of these ingredients into recipes with a creative angle or unusual point of view.

Authentic Bibimbap @ Gina Lee’s Bistro

Bibimbap 비빔밥, literally meaning “mixed rice,” a very popular dish in Korea, is prepared with steamed white rice, beef and vegetables, topped with a fried egg and served with spicy red chili paste, called gochujang. The beef and colorful vegetables are artfully arranged around the perimeter of the bowl, making for a bold symmetrical presentation. Everything is then mixed vigorously with chopsticks.

Chicken Pad Thai, Korean-Style

Pad Thai Gochujang Sauce:

1/2 c. gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1/4 c. brown sugar

2 T. tamarind juice (tamarind paste mixed with warm water)

2 T. fish sauce

1 T. low-sodium soy sauce

2 t. grated ginger

1 t. Thai chili, seeded & finely chopped

Combine ingredients in a bowl, add water to get a saucy consistency. Set aside.

I had my first Bibimbap a few years ago at a Korean restaurant. The next week I made it at home, but it didn’t quite match up to the restaurant’s. I’ve made a few more since but still not perfect. Yours looks perfect! I love the pad Thai flavors! I’m going to have to give this a try. Love your before and after pictures!

I literally drooled after looking at your photos. I’m a HUGE fan of Bibimbap and ALWAYS order it at a Korean restaurant. And I love Pad Thai too. You are so creative as always! The runny egg yolk… yum. I want this for lunch so bad. Maybe we have to go Thai or Korean restaurant tonight as I have nothing in the fridge… Happy weekend LL! 🙂
